but……
Soon he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from home - his father in prison... he actually came back two days earlier than before?
At the same time, on the flying carpet in the sky, Yoruichi in the form of a black cat and Urahara dressed as a shop owner were looking down at Ichigo's small building with serious expressions.
"Sure enough... it's that guy." The black cat said in a hoarse voice.
"But he doesn't look like Kurosaki-san at all!" Urahara's tone was still frivolous.
"They look alike, at least their hair is similar." The black cat rolled his eyes.
"No, you know that's not what I'm talking about... Really, a guy like that could actually give birth to such a cute son..." Urahara said in a jealous tone.
----
Note 1: Regarding the "Proxy Certificate", there is another mainstream view that this thing will limit Ichigo's power, because Ginjō did say "restraint", but the example Ginjō gave later was that when Ichigo was wearing the "Proxy Certificate", he would not be affected by his own huge spiritual pressure in his human state, and he did not mention the issue of strength.
Therefore, Honto feels that it makes sense not to understand the "restraint" here as "strength limitation". After all, if the spiritual pressure is really reduced, even if Ichigo is really insane and didn't notice it, Ginjo couldn't have not suspected it at first. More importantly, Ginjo also said that this thing "will only suppress spiritual pressure when it is kept by your side."
The main argument for suppressing strength is Ichigo's actual combat performance in the Arrancar Arc...
However, if the purpose is to "suppress Ichigo's strength" at the critical moment, this necessary condition is too trivial. Wouldn't he be thrown far away after being discovered?
Of course, both interpretations are possible. Ginjo's words leave room for interpretation, and Ginjo himself hated the gods of death extremely at the time, so his words themselves also have room for bias.
In short, in this book, it is set that "there is no limit on strength, it is just an auxiliary spiritual pressure restriction." The reason why Ichigo's actual combat strength was reduced in the original work was because of Ichigo's inner hesitation and resistance to Hollow.

2023-09-04
"Dad? Why are you back?" Ichigo "traveled" back into Kiriko's body and returned home. As expected, he saw... Dad was back, and Mom and sisters seemed to be celebrating.
Well, obviously... not prepared to wait for him!
This is secondary. After all, I didn't say when I would be back. What Ichigo cares more about is...did you escape from prison?
After all, in Ichigo's mind, his father must be in prison, so he can only come back for two days every year, but now he comes earlier...
"Ah! Isn't this my son?" The father had an expression that said, "Let's deal with it first, and then I'll think about what to call this son."
"Stop it! Aren't you tired of this every year?" Ichigo said unhappily.
"So cold, as expected... this is puberty, right? He actually went out with his friends for so many days and didn't even tell mom where he was going. Masaki must have worked so hard..." Lin rambled on.
Lin, Ichigo knew that this was what his mother had always called his father.
He didn't know if it was his surname or his given name, but his surname was "Hei Qi" after his mother's. He just hadn't seen his grandfather or his maternal grandfather's family.
If the other members of the Gotei 13 saw this "Lin", they would definitely be shocked - isn't this Captain Shihouin?
That’s right, this person had silver hair and wore glasses. Although he was not wearing the pair of earrings that he never took off, but looking at his appearance, who else could it be but Shifengyuan Ichiryu!
However, Ichigo only knew the name of Shihouin Ichiryu, but had never seen him. Therefore, he never thought that his bizarre experiences that ordinary people would never believe were actually closely related to his parents...
"Since you know how hard it is for your mother, you shouldn't escape from prison!"
"What prison break? My stupid son..."
"Mom is so smart, I have to act like one even if I'm stupid, right?"
"Maybe it's because all the wisdom is given to your two lovely sisters..."
"Dad is right!"
……
[Ms. Arisu, the president of the Star Group, announced that she will further expand her investment in Karakura Town…]
In the background sound of the TV, the Kurosaki family was particularly noisy today. Not only did Ichigo, who had been "traveling" for a few days, come back, but Lin also came back early and announced a good news.
"Dad... I got a promotion recently, so I can come back more often in the future. Aren't you happy?" Lin said proudly.
"Promotion?" Ichigo was still hesitant. Had he guessed wrong all along, or... this guy performed well and was given a reduced sentence?
"Great!" Youzi cheered immediately.
"Tsk, not too much." Xia Li muttered softly while looking at Lin.
Yuuko and Xia Li are twin sisters, four years younger than Ichigo.
The two sisters are the same age, Youzi is the older sister and Xiali is the younger sister. Looking at their appearance, you can tell that although they have some similarities, they are by no means indistinguishable. They must be fraternal twins with very different personalities.
The elder sister Youzi is more like her mother Masaki, who speaks her mind and expresses her emotions passionately. The younger sister Xia Li is reserved, sometimes very sharp-tongued, and likes to keep everything to herself, and is more like her father Lin.
"Okay, don't worry. Dad will be home tomorrow, so we can go to the amusement park...but you have to go to bed early today!" Yilong touched his two daughters' heads, one with his hand each.
They have brown-yellow hair just like Masaki.
Youzi nodded, while Xia Li pretended to hide, and then muttered, "It's always the amusement park every year..."
Ichigo was picking his ears with an expression that said, "How boring," and "This is just kid stuff."
"Ichigo can bring his girlfriend!" Yilong said very openly.
"No! I have to study hard and not be like someone in the future!" Ichigo said very self-disciplinedly.
"Eh? I remember you had a childhood sweetheart named Long Gui? You are this age now, and you have been traveling together for so many days, but there hasn't been any progress?" Yilong pretended to be surprised.
"What Longgui... What does it have to do with Longgui? Who told you that I was traveling with Longgui..." Ichigo immediately retorted angrily.
"So it was another girl? Masaki, did you know?" Yilong asked Masaki.
"It seems that there was a very particular girl who came to see Ichigo before..." Masaki said, making an exaggerated gesture in front of her chest.
"That's not Inoue!" Ichigo denied immediately.
"Eh? Ichigo has really grown up..." Yilong immediately made an astonished expression.
"Have you guys had enough?" Ichigo looked embarrassed.
"Anyway, have a good rest tonight, because tomorrow we will have a long-awaited family activity!" Yilong urged.
"Mom took us there, and it's a family activity." Ichigo emphasized - this family can't do without you.
……
Then Yilong washed up in the bathroom of the master bedroom and locked the door early...
Masaki was lying on the bed with her back facing this side, but Yilong knew from the movement of her shoulders that she was pretending to sleep!
Not long after Yilong got into the quilt, after a strange ups and downs in the quilt, Masaki's breathing became more disordered.
嘛——
but……
At this moment, Yilong suddenly shivered, and then sat up in an unpleasant manner.
"Hehehe, who told you to offend her?" Masaki smiled at this time.
Just now, a black cat passed by the window, casting a shadow on the curtains.
Obviously, it is impossible to pretend that I don’t know she is outside!
"I haven't reported the snacks in his store for being non-compliant!" Yilong got out of bed angrily without putting on any clothes, and his body was naturally covered with the "Death Tyrant Outfit".
It seems that he just "changed" into a set of clothes, but even if Yamamoto saw it, he would be shocked - this seemingly inconspicuous "action" means that Yilong instantly completed the transformation from an instrument body to a spirit body, instead of simply relying on the "artificial body" to stay in the world.
The next moment, Yilong left home quietly without disturbing his son, who was the agent of the God of Death and was at home, and followed the "black cat" to a secluded place not far away.
After turning a corner, Yilong saw Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi who had turned back into human form, and the two of them were waiting for him!
"Huh? You become braver now in front of your wife. Didn't you run away when you saw me before?" Ye Yi deliberately teased.
Yilong's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of embarrassment, and he answered directly, "My lord, I am working hard to expand the Shifengyuan family and prepare for a fourth child. You have been running around with a man for a hundred years without any effort, and it's not good for you to bother me, right?"
"Tsk tsk, you're really brave enough to say that." Ye Yi narrowed his eyes a little, and it was hard to tell whether he became more murderous or his fighting spirit was reduced because he was touched on a sore spot.
Urahara was overwhelmed and said, "Ahem! Captain Ichiryu is really dedicated to his duties. He just took office and he comes to patrol the world? Wait, which team did Captain Ichiryu take office in? It doesn't seem to be the Purification Team, right? " As he said this, he had a sarcastic smile.
Upon hearing this, Yilong also smiled and said directly: "Well, it's not the 13th Division, it's the 9th Division. I hope you two can cooperate with us in the future..."
The Ninth Squad is the "Prison Squad"!
"I will, I will..." Urahara said, unfolding his small fan to cover the lower half of his face. He stared at Ichiryu with his eyes and asked, "But can I ask, what is Aizen's purpose? How long will it take him to completely complete the [Hougyoku]?"
"Manager Urahara, you've asked the right person. I invented the [Hōgyoku]... Do you believe it?" Yilong asked sarcastically.
Urahara had nothing to refute about this, but he still stared at Yilong - he felt... Yilong must know more core information!
As for the fact that Ichiryu and Aizen were in collusion, Urahara and Yoruichi never doubted it.
After all, Ichiryu was the one who was brought back to Soul Society by Aizen from Hueco Mundo, and... the Shihouin family lost its head and four heirs at once. No matter how eloquent Ichiryu is, Urahara and Yoruichi will not be shaken.
This time, Yoruichi did not mention much about the Shihouin clan to Yilong. Firstly, it was because he had a new assessment of his strength; secondly... it was naturally because Yilong eventually pushed the position of the head of the family to Yuushirou!
This was also one of the reasons why Yilong supported Yushiro at that time.
Of course, Yoruichi doesn't care much about the Shihouin clan, otherwise she wouldn't have rebelled against the Soul Society with Urahara, but... no matter how much she doesn't care, the fact that Ichiryuu, a "white guy", is the head of the family must have exceeded Yoruichi's bottom line!
At this time, Ichiryu saw that Urahara and Yoruichi were staring at him, so he raised his hand and said, “Okay, okay, if you must listen... I can only say that if I were to guess, the [Hougyoku] sounds very complicated, and I believe that former captain Urahara should have also made a seal, right?
"I think even for Aizen, it would take at least a year or so before he can truly use the complete Hogyoku.
"As for Aizen's purpose, I think it should be to rebel against the Soul King? After all, the Soul King hasn't appeared directly for a long time. He may be questioning the Soul King's power, hehe." Yilong pretended to be unclear about the Soul King's situation.
Whether Urahara believes it or not, he still has to pretend on the surface.
"As expected of Captain Ichiryu, you really have insightful views... Thank you very much for sharing your 'guess' with me." Urahara nodded meaningfully, obviously not believing that this was a "guess".
Ichilong just shook his head and said, "No, no, come to think of it, I should thank former Captain Urahara for taking care of my son."
"Hahaha, as it should be... For us who run a store, the most important thing is to please children." Urahara then adopted a nonsensical tone again, fanning himself with a small fan as he spoke.
"But..." Yilong's tone became heavy at this time, "As parents, we hate it when children go to suspicious little shops and accept suspicious things."
"What an unreasonable parent..." Urahara's eyes, under the shadow of his hat brim, looked directly at Yilong, obviously not accepting his threat.
However, in the end, there were only gusts of cold wind blowing between the three of them, and no conflict occurred, and they left...

96. Chapter 96 That Night

2023-09-04
"so slow……"
When Ichiryu went straight back to the master bedroom through the window after meeting Urahara and Yoruichi, Masaki complained to him.
At this time, Masaki changed to a prone position on the bed, her pipa-like jade back seemed to be waiting to be played, her hands supported her chin, her swan neck and knife-like collarbone could be seen from the front, her two calves were raised, as if swinging out of boredom, her eyes were charming but sharp, even provocative.
"Those two are really ignorant of Fengyue. No wonder they are still like this after more than a hundred years." Yilong said, and as he took a step forward, he transformed into Qi Zi's body again.
……
That night, Masaki vaguely recalled the scene many years ago when she had just become a Quincy and faced the final assessment.
That night, the sound of rain was noisy, and the arrows from his own sky instantly landed on the first Void, killing it with a thousand wounds;
In the blink of an eye, a second, even bigger Hollow appeared. After a fierce battle, it finally struck the Hollow and turned it into a bloody rain that blended with the increasingly heavy rain.
Then three Hollows appeared at the same time, one main and two deputy, and attacked together. Masaki smiled wildly and made up his mind to lure them with the "Silent Blood Suit". When the opponent got close, the "Sacred Extermination Arrow" exploded...
The Quincy test was over. Normally, the remaining ones were just small Hollows, and they could be easily killed with the palm spirit bow, but...
……
The next morning, Yilong and Masaki went to the amusement park with their three children as promised...
"Mom and Dad, what a joke! They told me to go to bed early, but you guys get up so late!" Youzi complained.
"Because mom and dad are worried about your brother. After all, he is almost in his second year of high school. So we stayed up late while chatting. Hahaha..." Yilong's reason was very plausible.
Ichigo: ...
"I see... Youzi and Xia Li are also going to enter junior high school!" Youzi raised his hand actively.
